![]() These wavefront distortions arise from temperature differences in the atmosphere. In the joint demonstration, the wavefront distortions of the lowest order - the angle of arrival of the wavefront at the receiver - were compensated. DLR provided the concept and the optical systems required for successful atmospheric transmission. The new world record was achieved through a collaboration between DLR and ADVA. New world record in laser communications for satellites Optical free-space communications transports the high-rate data streams in a similar manner to optical-fibre communications in ground-based backbone networks. ![]() This is achieved using optical communications, as demonstrated in this test. In order to fully exploit this capacity, the satellites must be connected to the Internet. The coverage area will be illuminated by numerous beams from the satellites, re-using radio frequencies and hence enabling a very high link capacity between users and the spacecraft. ![]() "Satellites play a key role in enabling global Internet access at high data rates everywhere," explains Christoph Günther, Director of the DLR Institute of Communications and Navigation. Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things are examples of this, and they both require broadband Internet connections. For that purpose, according to the BATS study, an aggregate data rate of three to four terabits per second would be required to serve all of Europe.īroadband Internet as a key for digitalisationĭigitalisation is a new revolution, which is transforming society, improving citizens' quality of life and enhancing the efficiency of economic processes. However, the actual goal is to provide broadband Internet via satellite to rural areas that are not connected to the terrestrial network infrastructure. The IP traffic in Germany in 2020, which is expected to grow to 144 petabytes per day, could also be supported. At this data rate, the content of all printed the books in the world could be transmitted in approximately 30 seconds.

He said he’d watch them all “doing their Sharia law.” Through the Channel process, the school worked with the police, social care and a local youth group to support him through challenging the ideology he had developed, providing him with careers advice, and connecting him to an ethnically diverse local youth group. He said he didn’t have a problem with most people - just Muslims: Muslims were not like “us”. Without family influence around he was getting attention and social support through his involvement in this group. He had been invited to “secret” group meetings connected to football games.

Support through Channel enabled Amina to rebuild her relationship with her mother. Her social media indicated that she had voiced support for Daesh and a hatred for non-Muslims.

Yusuf had become befriended by older radicalised men through late night discussions and weekend meetings and started to identify with extremist ideology, but he was confused. Yusuf was spoken to by student services and police, who felt that he was at risk of being drawn into terrorism. She got in touch with the university Prevent coordinator who contacted the police. Yusuf was at University and was aged 24 when a university staff member saw him handing out leaflets which, it turned out, were promoting a website containing extremist, homophobic and violent material. Support could include assistance with education or employment, health support, and ideological mentoring to provide vulnerable individuals with the skills to protect themselves from being drawn into committing terrorist-related activity or supporting terrorism.īelow are just a few examples of real stories of individuals who have received support through Channel: Yusuf was seen handing out leaflets promoting a website containing extremist, homophobic and violent material In other cases, the panel will offer the individual an appropriate support package tailored to their needs.

Businesses such as Pinterest hired Candice Morgan (who is Black) as their inaugural head of diversity earlier this year, after announcing they would increase minority engineers’ employment by eight percent last summer. Since then, other tech companies have continued to increase the diversity in their workforce. Such an issue led to black software engineers creating their own non-profit organizations, in hopes of providing black engineers with the connections, resources and skills necessary to earn a job in the industry. Back in October of last year, USA Today had reported that the amount of black engineers at Facebook and Google was only one percent. The news comes at a time when many tech companies in Silicon Valley are making an effort to grow rates of black and minority employment.

Like Bonnie Raitt, he is used to adversity. A songwriter who's labored in obscurity for 20 years, John Prine is no prima donna. I just asked 'em to turn it down." John Prine is not the kind of guy to pull the plug on a playoff game, especially when the home team is up. "It's the Wildcats by ten," Prine said, shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head in mock disgust as the audience broke into a round of applause. Somehow the TV audio had bled into the PA system. The stage crew had been watching the game backstage on a portable TV. It was the spring of 1988, and the University of Arizona Wildcats were hacking their way into the NCAA Final Four. After a minute he was back, a wide grin spreading across his face. Suddenly aware of this strange interference, Prine stopped in mid-song and listened. Coming through the PA system along with Prine's voice and guitar was something that sounded like the play by play of a basketball game. Out in the audience, static had been obvious from the first note. After the first song or two, he added a cigarette. Dressed in a blue silk shirt and jeans, he sported what has become his post-Seventies look: well-worn cowboy boots mid-length dark and graying hair and a soul patch beneath his lower lip. ![]() Opening for musical soul mate Bonnie Raitt, Prine was playing solo. He went on, “They’d been telling me for years to get on cholesterol medicine, and I would go, ‘Am I all right now?’ And they’d go, ‘Yeah.Midway through his set, John Prine began to hear the noises, too. … He said, ‘John, you can say whatever you want to me or act any way you want, but a first-year medical student can tell you you’ve had a heart attack.’” “The looked at me and he said, ‘You’ve had a heart attack.’ I went nuts,” the “Jack & Diane” singer remembered. Mellencamp famously recalled the story of his heart attack while smoking a cigarette during a 2015 appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” “I learned my lesson after I had a heart attack at 42.” Mellencamp eventually gave up the hard partying and drug use of his younger years on the road. “I had lots of doctors going, ‘John, your cholesterol’s way too high and you smoke.’ I’d go, ‘F–k it,'” Mellencamp, who began smoking at the age of 14, recalled. The musician admittedly still smokes but is mindful of his overall well-being after suffering a serious health scare in 1994 after a show at Jones Beach in New York. But when you get to a certain age, it’s not funny anymore. “It’s funny and attractive to be 25 years old and be someplace high and drunk. ![]() “There comes a time when you got to go, ‘OK, I’m done with this s–t.’ “They couldn’t get off the party,” he explained. He said that unlike many of his friends and peers, he was able to simply mature out of using them. Mellencamp quit drugs and alcohol in 1971. “And you’re talking to the luckiest guy you’re ever going to talk to.” “Very simply, luck is thinking you’re lucky, period,” the 70-year-old rocker told People Wednesday while reminiscing on his decades-long music career. ![]() John Mellencamp knows how fortunate he is to have survived a rock star lifestyle and a heart attack.

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Good fun for games parties but not for those who want to pursue a more professional fighting experience.įamily Video Game Age Ratings | Home | About | Radio shows | Columnists | Competitions | Contact The barrier to entry is internationally low for Facebreaker - but this takes away the need for practice on the part of the player. This kind of thinking though is to miss what Facebreaker does well - deliver a simple fighting experience with strong characters and physical sense of injury.Įxpert players are more likely to miss the frame-counting combo-memorisation requirements of other fighting games. Such is the graphical hyperbole, it could almost be taken as a tongue in cheek dig at what some see as an outdated sport. Older and intermediate players will enjoy the exuberant visuals. This is a great game for who.įacebreaker's aggressive take on boxing, even with its cartoon overtones, may be problematic for younger players - particularly for parent's concerned with keeping reducing the number of fisticuffs in the household. Although repeat plays, and progression through the belts can extend these sessions, the player who dips in and out is only at a minimal disadvantage. And when can I take a break.Īs its Freestyle causal label suggests, Facebreaker is a game that can be thrown on for a few minutes fun whenever the need takes you. Those comfortable with the titular face breaking nature of these fights will delight at taking opponents to three knock downs, and finishing them off with a bone splintering special move. Stringing together a variety of high/low hits along with a smattering of parries and blocks is really satisfying. ![]() Each boxer is well voiced and animated with a clear understanding of characterisation. Players will be attracted to the Pixar style characters. So what experience should I play this game for. ![]() As such this delivers on the Freestyle casual gamer ethos, but caters less well to casual gamers looking for a more nuanced or serious experience. Compared to Boxing on Wii-Sports this is a lot less about the tactics of movement (hitting, ducking and weaving) and much more about button mashing and shot selection. The main downside here is the arbitrary use of the Wii's controllers. This certainly communicates the physicality of this sport, and makes the unavoidable connection between winning and damaging the opponent. In the match these boxers are slowly turned black, blue and swollen as each punch takes its toll. The game provides a set of different cartoon style boxers that are accessed as the player progresses through each level. This works well in some instances, adding a sense of physicality to the boxing, although in other areas it can feel a little arbitrary. The Wii version takes the original Facebreaker 360 games and maps moves onto the Wii's motion controllers. Facebreaker on Wii provides a simplified approach where the player uses a small set of offensive and defensive moves against their opponent. But why is it any better than the others.įighting games usually require complex button combinations or strict timing requirements that are prohibitive to more casual players. Players learn to control characters through either memorisation of button combinations to access more advance moves, or by their reactions and accurate timing. It's one of those type of game genres.įighting games revolve around the interaction of two or more characters in some form of physical combat. The Wii version works in motion controls although without changing the gameplay substantially. Previously released as Facebreaker 360, it offers a Boxer brawling game with strong characterisation and accessible move sets aimed squarely at the casual gamer. Other GamePeople columnists have reviewed this from their perspective - huh?: Family Gamer (360) Sports Gamer (360) Teen Gamer (360)įacebreaker is the first EA Freestyle game to hit the Wii. |
